beige_alertBesides buying apples and sushi on Saturday, I went to the Milwaukee Art Museum (in the Fancy Building). Saw the current traveling exhibit, Biedermeier: The Invention of Simplicity. Furniture, paintings, household items, and even a surveying transit. Quite fascinating. I suppose if I can't be in Germany now, at least I can see German stuff, and it's rather easier for me to see it while it is in Milwaukee. Not, mind you, that I wouldn't love to see the Albertina or the Deutsches Historisches. There is something unexpected about an art exhibition that will be seen in Milwaukee, Berlin, Vienna, and Paris. Which one of these cities is not like the others? Yay us! Milwaukee: Not as lame as it sounds.
Sunday included a trip to the newly-opened Whole Foods store. It is indeed big and full of fascinating stuff. As I gather is the trend these days, there is some blurring of the grocery store-restaurant distinction, with lot of prepared foods and eating areas. The produce area is home to the most impressive piled-up stacks of lettuce and carrots I've ever seen. I was unable to resist getting a little cast-iron tea pot.
Dinner was at Beans And Barley, just down the street from Whole Foods. That's always a good place to eat.
Also, the distance between roughly Red Arrow Park and Prospect and North where Whole Foods is? It seems shorter by bicycle than when walking. But exercise is good for you.
